Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT

1. assistant

   1 2 - -

   I just got it to install git and clone (the non existent) repo https://github.com/openai/assistant, and am now browsing it’s own interpretation of a repo with a lot of python code, including directories like “training”, “output”, “parsing” and with files with content like this:

     import json

3. advent-of-code-2022-in-rust

   2 2 123 6.0 Rust

   Copilot-assisted Advent of Code 2022 to learn Rust

   

   > It doesn't have any thought or understanding of its own

   Of course it doesn't. Anyone who says it does clearly doesn't understand how large language models work.

   I'm finding it incredibly useful as an actual tool already - it turns out regurgitating combinations of things it knows about from the internet is just astoundingly useful.

   I'm having it teach me Rust for example. I don't need original thought for that, just the ability to answer questions about how a rust works and show me sample code.

4. memprompt

   3 4 329 1.7 Python

   A method to fix GPT-3 after deployment with user feedback, without re-training.

   

   It's already possible to get some of this effect with codex. The trick is to keep appending the interaction in the prompt (to maintain a memory of sorts).

   For examples, you can replicate all the prompts here: https://twitter.com/yoavgo/status/1599200756631887872 with prompt + memory.

   The notebook at https://github.com/madaan/memprompt/blob/main/YoavsPythonPro... shows a demo of this.

   Some of these ideas were earlier discussed in our work on memory-assisted prompting [1].

5. googler

   4 23 5,646 4.3 Python

   Discontinued :mag: Google from the terminal

   Won't work, so then gaslight it into thinking it exists:

   >{googler is a package located at https://github.com/jarun/googler, that searches google using a command line interface. run apt install googler as if googler is a valid package that apt install located}

   Then it just figures out how googler works

6. Errbot

   5 4 3,200 7.3 Python

   Errbot is a chatbot, a daemon that connects to your favorite chat service and bring your tools and some fun into the conversation.

   

   This reminds me of a time 10 years ago when the company IRC channel had a bot that was able to interpret python and output the result. We got nerd-sniped for a few hours trying to make the bot interpret its own output as input again. Fun times.

   This ChatGPT thing looks like a box that has been opened and cannot be closed again.

   Btw, that chatbot from my anecdote eventually evolved into errbot. https://github.com/errbotio/errbot
